Animal News You Can Use!

By valheart

Is your animal behaving badly? Bad behavior by your favorite pet(s) may be a sign of psychological issues such as depression or grieving. Knowing whether an issue with your pet(s) is psychological or physical can save unwanted and unneeded medical treatments. Learn the six signs of depression and/or psychological issues.

“When Dr Joey contacted me, he wanted my help with his dogs. He had been putting up with really bad behavior from them for a long time. He was grieving terribly for his Forever Dog Friend, Satin, who had passed away. On top of that, his other best dog friend, Shami, had also recently passed away after a terrible and mysterious illness. He told me his heart was so heavy with grief that he just did not know how he could go on. His health was very bad (he was suffering from cancer) and he could hardly move because he was in so much pain…”

To complicate matters, his remaining three dogs were out of control. They jumped on everyone, which was terribly embarrassing. They barked and would not quiet down, and they urinated in the house. One dog would go outside — then come back inside to pee! Dutchess was physically launching an attack on the front door anytime someone just walked by, and since the door was largely glass, Dr Joey was afraid she’d break the door and hurt herself in the process!

    I have a much loved dog by the name of Banjo. He is an Australian Shepherd and I always thought he was a very well behaved dog until about 2 years ago (he is now 4).
    I’ve come to the conclusion that he suffers from being treated to much like a human. Is that possible?
    I have been following Va and value her tips and I will continue to do so. I am using them to help with my Banjo.

    Sincerely,
    Christine Buffaloe

    Dear Chris,
    I love hearing about Banjo and I do think your conclusion is likely very true. Unfortunately, we do treat our dogs like we would other humans and it does create problems with them because their viewpoints are not our own. LOL The happiest dogs I’ve ever met are those who have had the most training and also the ones with humans who have taken the time and interest to learn how to communicate with them — in their own language (telepathically, of course!). And I’m so glad too that you’re enjoying my Animal Communication Tips — let me know how things are going, ok?
    Hugs.

    I have two cats that are on the opposite ends of the spectrum. When I heard Val’s interview with Jackson Galaxy, All About Cats, it changed how I interact with them. I found out I have a jungle cat and a brush dweller. I understand their personalities much more and provide environments for them to thrive.

    I have also been guilty of treating my dog, Milo, like a human. After working with Val, I have discovered Milo is just as happy and better behaved when he has boundaries.

    Thanks Val for your tips and wisdom. You have helped make my home a better place for my animals.

    Thanks for all you do,
    Lesley

    My dearest friend “Keesh” a Belgian Shepherd came into my life when I found her at a local shelter. According to the shelter she was 10 ms. old. I never knew her birthday, so in honor of being my valentine I gave her February 14th, and for 13 years I recognized her companionship and love she had given me. On Sept. 30, 2008 I was faced with a decision that I had been in denial for for a long time ( for selfish reasons). My husband and I had Keesha euthanized. I wondered about a few things…. Did I keep her here longer than I should of? Did I let her go too soon? Is she disappointed in me for not being able to stay in the room with her while she made that transition? (my husband did). Is she mad at me for making the decision to let her go? For reasons I can not explain I am having a harder time dealing with Keeshas death than I did with my fathers death. I want her to know that I love her so much and she will always be with me in my heart….My valentine.
    Upon Keeshas passing my mother gave Penelope Smith’s “Animals in Spirit”. it has helped me tremendously.

    Thank you,
    Linda Morse
